2.2 Interface Overview

Welcome Screen
The welcome screen appears when you do not have a project open. From here, you can open an existing project, create a new project, set options for all new projects, and more. The welcome screen also displays relevant license information, the modules you have activated and valuable community resources to help you learn how to more effectively use the software.

Project Navigator
When a project is open, the Project Navigator is the primary screen. It helps keep track of all your data, analyses, and results. It also provides the means for acquiring files, accessing your data and plots, and setting options for the currently open project.

Python Shell
Python is a fully programmable scripting language. The Python shell, which can be accessed from the welcome screen or the project navigator, is used to perform operations available within the graphical user interface (GUI) in a command line environment.

Python Editor
The Python editor provides an intuitive interface for writing and editing entire scripts.

Spreadsheets
Data imported into a project is stored within a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets that do not have a marker map applied to them are denoted by a blue icon in the project navigator. Spreadsheets with a genetic marker map applied are denoted with a green icon. Spreadsheets enable you to view your data, results, and genetic marker map information (if a genetic marker map has been applied) within a table format. Most standard analyses and quality assurance measures are performed from a spreadsheet. Spreadsheets also provide the means for launching the integrated visualization analytic navigator to generate graphs.

Spreadsheet Editor
The spreadsheet editor enables to you manipulate your data and save it as a new spreadsheet.

Plot Viewer
The Plot Viewer is a very powerful tool for generating graphs of all different types. If you launched a Plot Viewer from a spreadsheet with a marker map applied, plots and graphs will be oriented within the context of a genome browser .
